Tulsa WorldWAKITA — This tiny town near the Oklahoma-Kansas state line north of Enid may soon own the country's only all-Christian prison, with Christian administrators, employees, counselors and programs.
The idea is backed by Wakita's leaders, has some support from state officials, and, its founders believe, is able to pass constitutional muster.
"If Chicken Little doesn't come to town, we'll be open in 16 months," said Bill Robinson, the founder of Corrections Concepts Inc., a Dallas nonprofit prison ministry that is spearheading the project.
Mayor Kelly George said officials of this town of 380 were fully behind the project and have done everything they need to make it happen.
